In Bahrain’s waters, I walk a path shaped by the tides of those before me — where ancestral wisdom meets modern science to protect what cannot speak for itself. As the country’s first female marine field ecologist and founder of Nuwat for Environmental Research & Education, I work to bridge tradition and innovation in service of our seas. Through storytelling, I plant seeds of care and consciousness, hoping they ripple outward — from coastal communities to global circles — shaping a more just and sustainable future for all.
